All eyes and attention are focused on the British Under 19 Final which is being held at Ipswich on Thursday 17th May.
As well documented through being able to host two British Under 21 semi-finals, the talent of Under 19s is at its highest level and in fact there will be a number of riders disappointed to be missing out on a place in the final.
With last year’s British Under 19 winner Zach Wajtknecht now being ineligible, there will be a new British champion crowned on the night.
Last year’s rostrum placed finishers Dan Bewley and Kyle Bickley will be amongst the favourites along with British semi-final winner Jack Thomas.
There will also be a lot of local interest with Mildenhall’s Drew Kemp in action after so many years practicing at the Foxhall track.
Along with Kemp there will also be two other 15-year-olds competing in Jason Edwards and Leon Flint.
Bickley, Kemp, Flint and Tom Brennan will be hoping to add a British Under 19 title to their already impressive championship wins at British Youth Level
